We've discovered all of these exoplanets but we don't even know for sure what they look like. For most of them we have vague guesses that mostly result in artist impressions. Let's be honest, why if Earth can have life then why are we the only ones? For us to be the only ones for sure, there would have to be an unrealistic magical explanation of life that one finds in fairy tales and books.
I don't know that we'll ever find them though, but if we do we're going to have to face the fact that we aren't special. And maybe that'll show us some discipline.
I actually do. We only know a small small pin point part or our universe. What we don't know is larger than what we do, so I think it's very possible that there is life on other planets or that ours isn't the only one capable of providing an environment conducive to sustaining life.
Well, we know that we know about a minuscule portion of the universe. In knowing what we know and how much we know, we also know what we don't know. :D
Example. I know a certain person likes to gamble. Does that make up all of the person or a certain part of them? You can guess certain aspects of their character based on the fact that they do but you can't say you are 100% accurate without actually knowing them. I know that I don't know all of this person, I simply know that they gamble; they exist but I am only aware of one small portion of his/her existence and lifestyle.
Not knowing all of the universe doesn't mean it doesn't exist, simply that there is a possibility of certain characteristics based off what we've observed and the potential for surprises as we continue to study.
I used an example for the side I was presenting and it is pertinent to the discussion as an example, as clearly stated. Please explain your side, perhaps there is miscommunication. Are you suggesting we know everything about the universe?
Did I say that I was trying to definitively measure it? We have a small understanding of the universe and what is out there, there is still a lot that we don't know. Is this incorrect? If it is I genuinely want to know, please supply an article that I can read about it because from what I know, at this point in time, what we know about the universe is not equal to what we don't know. The latter being higher in percentage.
If we can measure specifically how much we don't know then tell me how many facts we don't know. You may be able to make a good estimate but I'll bet you can't give me an exact definitive answer to how much we don't know.
Nah I don' fancy it t'be silly at all, mate since when ya do the maths and cipher out that because of the trillions of planets the odds are rather brilliant that at least a few of 'em have life. but with God, the odds are rather stacked against him, eh? since I mean, there's not a tittle of evidence. but since we not only have evidence but proof of life here, why not life elsewhere? we know that biologic life exists. yet we have no reason to speculate how a magical god exists. Its all in the noggins of the believers like you. and when you read this bit here you'll go off and attack and accuse me of goin' to hell. because you know deep down I be right and me nickin' your faith and casting doubt riles you up a gives you a case of the red ass, don't it, mate?
I know deep down that you are on your way to Hell and my sins are forgiven and I am on my way to Heaven and your English language skills are akin to ebonics.
Who cares? What does it matter if you exist if God did not create you and places no value on you? You declare that you want to be nothing. Too bad such stupidity won't keep you out of Hell.
There is no reason to believe that life exists on other planets. Everything everywhere shows God's handiwork. To say "I believe there is life on other planets but I see no evidence of God is completely irrational thinking. It's completely backwards as there is no evidence of life on other planets and everything shows God's handiwork in that it is created.
The whole creation shows God's handiwork, you are evidence of God. To say there is no evidence of God is keeping your head buried in the sand......and yes, you are a dead man walking with one foot in the grave and the other on thin ice melting over the fire of Hell. This is not an attack on you, it's simply telling you the truth...you need to wake up and seek God's mercy in Christ to be your Savior or you will wake up in Hell and you will see the Christ as your Judge.
There is absolutely no evidence of life on other planets. There may be life on other planets, but to say their probably is or to say you know that there is is not rational.
It is you who makes your own mind to be a magical god which you think keeps you out of Hell....futile magic in your mind which can't get you out of dying. You're a fool. Do you really want proof of Hell before you will believe it confines sinners forever dying in fire? It's coming, the hard way if that's the way you must have it.
No insults, no attacks, just the plain simple truth...you are separated from God by your sins and on death row paying the penalty attached to sin.....and you'll go on paying in eternal dying in Hell. You're a fool if you think you are outsmarting God. You're a fool if you say there is no God. Telling you the truth, you think you are better, smarter, and stronger than God...just another fool who has stopped thinking.
I'm not gonna go on with another bloody Bible thumper since it's been me bloody experience that the lot of you wankers had shite for brains and spunk in your ears do ya don't listen none too bloody well anyway. I'll just say that it's blokes like you who are the reason ppso many people are buggering off from church. Take that how ya fancy to, mate.
Why do you think you are better than God and have the right to live and do not deserve to die, and why do you think you have the right to exist outside of Hell?
It only took you about three posts to make it clear you are full of profanity and corruption so there is no point in reading your vile expressions of hatred against God and your preference of sin over life.
You're a well groomed parrot of militant atheism, being as rude, mean, and nasty as you possibly can to those who know God loves sinners and hates their sin. You're on your way to Hell and you want to attack God and His Word and His people because deep down in side you know you deserve to burn in Hell forever and you cannot accept the truth and you feel that as long as you can be mean and nasty toward God, His word, and His people that it proves you have the right to exist outside of Hell and you feel like you are winning against God when He is simply withholding His wrath from you while you pile up more and more of it until He finally gets tire of you and let's you have your appointment with death in your refusal of His blood which He gave to cover your sins and you wake up in Hell with nothing to keep the fire off of you. Too bad for you if you don't want to trust God and believe that He loves you so much He gave His only Son to be the atonement for your sins but you refuse and choose to pay for your own sins in Hell.
That is subjective. When I see the universe and it's complexity, I don't think to myself "Gee, this must have been made by god!!" I think "There is no possible way this could've been made by god." There is evidence for evolution. Evolution disproves Adam and Eve, which means there was no original sin, which means Jesus had nothing to die for, which disproves the bible. Not to mention, there are several contradictions in the bible.
Oh, and a comment from this video you should consider:
"The sad fact is not that this guy does not realize the banana he holds has been selectively bred. The sad fact is that, even if he came to understand this, it would do nothing to shake his faith. Believers claim all sorts of falsehoods and predictions, yet when the truth shines through or the predictions fail to occur, their level of faith rarely diminishes."
There may be life on one or more planets out there, but there is absolutely no sane reason to say "I'm sure there is life on other planets". As we never observe life coming from anything but living things, it is entirely rational to say God gave life to living things as He is the Living God. Life shows God is God. Life means God is good because it shows He is the giver of life.
You're just a jerk trying to insult me. It does not matter, I know my sins are forgiven and I'm on my way to Heaven. I could ignore you easily enough but you need to hear the truth and if you believe it or not you will still face God in judgement and you will be in Hell forever if you have not secured pardon from God.
Idiots like you feel you have to argue against God and the reality of Hell because you know deep down that it is entirely logical and justice for God to confine sinners in the fire of Hell, forever separating them from the living. The only way you can argue against God and against Hell is by insulting God and people who trust him and you make yourself to be a jerk. You think you are smarter, stronger, better than God and you think that by being a jerk against God you are proving that you are not condemned to eternal dying in Hell. You're an idiot...I really feel sorry for fools but they want to be fools and there is nothing the living can do for them so they have to be left behind.
There is a book called the God Theory explaining the possible physics behind a "God." Now I haven't read it but apparently a religious guy who was also a scientist wrote it and it's accepted as a valid theory. But I'm sure if there is a God that that has nothing to do with life on other planets. The Bible states that Earth is special. But if your going to use that as an excuse tosay there can't be life on other planets then I'm afraid you might as well call the Earth flat because that's how effective your argument is.
God is God, not "a" God. The reason you feel you have to imply that God is "a" God is that you are creating straw men which you would call "other Gods", and if there is more than one God then none of them can really be God, so you are using your own consciously created straw man which is not God and arguing that it cannot be God because it is not God.

And your stupid flat earth red herring argument belongs in the cuckoo land, and you have to be pretty lame brained to throw that out there as if it gives strength to your argument against reality. Using that kind of stuff to try to insult my intelligence only shows that you are feeble minded.
The God Theory explains the existence of a singular God that is essentially king of everything. I didn't mean to insult me you. Also what does the debate over God's existence have to do with life on other planets if the Bible doesn't even touch on the subject like you just said?
Also, the statistics show it is highly unlikely there is no life elsewhere in the universe so do you count that as evidence?
The person who started this debate recently said there is no God. I simply pointed out the silliness of believing there is life on other planets when everything we observe by science shows no life on other planets. I contrasted that belief against believing that God created all things which is the only logical explanation of life and reality.
It's backwards to believe there is life on other planets when all data found shows no life on other planets, and not to believe God created all things when there is no other rational explanation for life and reality.
That God theory book is equating Creation with the Creator. It's nothing new. Such ideas are about as old as mankind and they are spoken simply and clearly about in the Bible in Romans, chapter one. The author of the book is trying to convince himself that he is not personally accountable to God for every moment of his time, so he comes up with this physical kind of God which is not God who created all things and live independent of all things, and always was God before any thing existed.
That book is a form of Hinduism, of believing one is justified in their sins simply because they exist and had no choice in existing. It would be a waste of time for me to read that book, I was deep into that kind of religion for a few years.
Also, people want to believe there is life on other planets in large part because they feel if there is life on other planets it helps them to feel secure in saying God does not care about them as we and our planet are really nothing special and God will not hold them accountable for their sins on judgement day.
Atheism and belief in life on other planets goes hand in hand.....and I'm sure the religious book you are talking about approves of the idea of life on other planets; as the impersonal god created by that author to be upheld in place of the Living God who loves you and hates sin would be purposeless and not concerned about individual life.
To say statistics show life on other planets is highly unlikely is a huge understatement. The number of things which need to be in perfect order to support living things makes it a virtual mathematically impossible improbability.
There could very well be life on other planets, but it is pretty much statistically and mathematically impossible...the reality of our situation is that it looks like God created the Earth to be inhabited by living things which He created to live on Earth. The existence of matter and the reality of living things is by statistics of probability, impossible. It's silly for people to make careers out of trying to prove there is life on other planets and that reality and living things occurred by chance rather than the much simpler and logical explanation that God purposed reality and living things according to His own intentions.
God is not everything, everything is not God. God created everything. That is who God is. To change God into everything is very much the same as saying their is no God. It's just another religious attempt of a person to justify themselves so they feel they cannot be condemned in death forever.
"essentially king of everything"? I thought you said essentially kind of everything. If the guy has figured out that God is King of everything, he's on the right track but from what little I saw in the excerpt I copy and pasted, he still doesn't know what he is talking about.
When you add up how many things have to be in perfect order to support life, and multiply that number times the number of possible other arrangements of things if things were not the way they are now, the odds are impossibly high against life on Earth let alone on other planets. At a certain point, something like 10 to the 43rd power........I don't know the exact numbers.......the odds are accepted as statistically impossible. The fact that no life has been found on other planets is evidence that there is no life on other planets. Throwing out astronomically high numbers of possibilities is not evidence.
I never said there can't be life on other planets. Try to be realistic and don't put words and ideas in other peoples mouths and then argue against things that never existed. It's another way you create a straw man to argue against.....creating something in your mind which never existed in reality and they declaring it cannot be real and arguing against your own imagination.
There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against the Lord....all attempts to argue against God are nothing but self-deception.
wow....rare for anybody to say sorry for anything on here. Good for you.
Be honest with God like that and ask His forgiveness of your sins, believe on His Son that He is risen from the dead and ask God to save you in Jesus' name and you will have eternal life as a new person in Christ, a person who loves the truth and is honest about themselves when they do wrong.
Looks like that book attempts to merge belief in evolution and the big bang with theology. That stuff is not new and it's nothing but conjecture based on personal feelings trying to avoid criticism of peers by caving in to agree with ungodly beliefs about nature. I spend little time with that kind of stuff, only enough to get the basic idea of their beliefs. There are several highly accomplished and respected scientists like the author of that book. They lose my respect when they push belief in the big bang or evolution as valid science.
Here's an excerpt from the book which shows why it's nonsensical and why I don't spend much time with such things.
"It is not matter that creates an illusion of consciousness, but consciousness that creates an illusion of matter." That is correct physics: it is not controversial in the slightest degree that there is no reality; this has been demonstrated in both theory and experiment (Gröblacher et al., Nature, 446, 871, 2007)."
Reality is not an illusion, it's real. The only thing that is an illusion is the willful self-deception of people who believe this kind of nonsense. The best thing for clowns like this who pretend to be wise is to pour a pot of steaming hot coffee over their heads and tell them the coffee is real, it's hot, and they need to wake up and smell it.

Perhaps it is real to them because they believe it is real. Phantom Limb syndrome is a very real condition in which an amputee believes their lost limb is still attached to their body and they feel pain or sensation in it. Reality and illusion is intertwined in this instance, the illusion that their limb is still attached and they feel pain or sensation in the missing limb is their reality.
It's an interesting thing really. Now I'm not saying this book has all the answers, it's simply one person's interpretation of reality and God, I'm not defending the book either, just pointing out an interesting idea.
The reality of the situation is that the limb is missing. It does not matter if they think it's still there, if they try to use that limb it is not there and they can't do what they tried to do with the missing limb.
This is how I eliminated all the "great" philosophers when I was seeking whole heartedly to know the truth on which I can stand stronger than death. Whenever they went off into some of this nonsensical dribble they were showing they don't know what they are talking about and maybe don't even know what they are saying.
It is not a big mystery that after a lifetime, one without thinking assumed he had use of a limb as the pattern of sensation around that limb is etched in their brain and they can forget the limb is not there and might have sensations of pain associated with the missing limb. Why throw out all these ideas and act like reality is so mysterious? It's useless brain work in futility.
There are thousands or millions of interpretations of the reality of God. Only one can be true, and that would be the one declared by God about Himself. and if any of them show only one teeny weeny point of fallacious logic it should be discarded. Let God be true and let every man be a liar. God is God, that's reality, and He reveals Himself to mankind as the Son of God sent by the Father to be the atonement for the sins of man so that in His resurrection man can be forgiven of their sins and secure in eternal life with the Savior who is God who died for them. This is the only airtight explanation of life and reality, centered around God the Creator who became the Savior.
If you honestly search for the truth and refuse to let up your search until you are sure you have found the truth, you will find the truth and know you found it and know it is real. Deal with reality in reality. Illusions are not reality, reality is not an illusion. When things seem illusory they should be doubted and distrusted. People who dream up these ethereal ideas about God are not to be trusted any more than people who try to tell you there is no God should be trusted.
I don't need a link to read about phantom limbs. I probably heard and read about it before you were born, I knew people personally who had lost limbs and experienced phantom sensations.
Acting like you think I have never heard of something that is a popular topic of conversation and you are educating me on it is kinda insulting my intelligence.
You're taking insult where none was meant. I don't have a clue what you know and don't know, I was simply pointing something interesting out. That you find it an "insult to your intelligence"....well it's sad that you immediately jumped to that.
I thought you were ghosthead when I responded to you. Normally I do not read your stuff anymore due to your friendship with witches. You have demons all over you making you think you are strong with knowledge giving you power to exist outside of Hell. For me to read your stuff would be for me to entertain demons which are doing their damnedest to usher you into the fire of Hell while you sing their tunes happily.
How sad for you. Are you so weak in faith that even trying to learn about other beliefs and the people who practice them, threatens you? You don't have to read what I post, but do me a favor and don't thump your chest in egotism then try to put down people you don't even know. They have shown more grace and humility and acceptance than you and though I don't practice their belief, I have a hell of a lot more respect for them than I do some weak and sad person who spouts nothing but anger and hate and is so completely ignorant to their practice. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, perhaps I need some coffee, but you are so blind to your own ignorance, pride and ego, that your attempts at judgement is both comical and pitiable. You don't need to respond, I've rolled my eyes so much reading your nonsense that it would give them a break if you didn't.
You're on your way to Hell. You're fooling yourself well enough to feel you are stroking your ego in victory over God.
I feel sorry for you, but justice is good. Too bad you can't justify yourself and execution of justice is against your sin and your sin is taking you to Hell.
For someone who thinks reading stuff from me is kin to entertaining demons you sure do keep talking. 14 hours after your last lil attempt at an insult.
Still going at it? My my you're tenacious. Obviously what I say matters to you, for my part, I get caught in between eye rolls and amusement so please, by all means, carry on. Odd that you accuse me of speaking like the devil when you apparently enjoy our conversations and can't stop coming back for more.
Life is knowing God through Jesus Christ, knowing your sins are forgiven and you are going to Heaven, knowing you have eternal life. If you don't have life from God, all you have is dying from sin.

I CERTAINLY do NOT believe that the Earth is special to the extent that there IS NOT life on any other planet. I don't see how YOU can be sure that WE have our own GOD that has nothing to do with other planets. How can you believe in the Bible and not believe GOD created the whole Universe and that HE is not the "GOD" over all?? I don't believe ANY of it so I KNOW the Earth isn't flat. I'm fine with a "God theory", I just do not agree that the "proof" is logical, I'm also fine if YOU believe it. I can't help it if I believe the FACTS go in another direction. You follow your facts, I have to follow mine. My argument is as effective as yours.
Life is knowing God through Jesus Christ, knowing your sins are forgiven and you are going to Heaven, knowing you have eternal life. If you don't have life from God, all you have is dying from sin.
This argument came up on my list of "arguments against", that's why I responded to YOU ... far below. I wish CD would find a way to place comments where they belong!
OMG! This was supposed to clarify to ghostheadx (831) above! They can't even get them CLOSE!

The ungodly "God theory" book is as I thought, teaching the Hindu type idea that we are sparks of God, so we are actually part of God and God is everything. That's silly. People who believe stuff like that, and I was one of those people for a few years when I got deep into Americanized Hinduism, are only trying to soothe the guilt which is innate when we know we have done wrong and do not deserve to live. That stuff is a waste of time. It's like I said...the best thing for a person who believes stuff like that it to pour a hot pot of coffee over their heads, tell them it's real, tell them it's hot, and tell them it's not an illusion so maybe they'll wake up and smell the coffee.
I offer a genuine insight into how you can, and should, be a rational, science-believing human being and at the same time know that you are also an immortal spiritual being, a spark of God. I propose a worldview that offers a way out of the hate and fear-driven violence engulfing the planet.
— Bernard Haisch, The God Theory
Haisch published a follow-up in 2010, 'Purpose Guided Universe'. Both books reject both atheism and traditional theistic viewpoints, favoring instead a model of Pandeism wherein our Creator has become our Universe, to share in the actualized experiences therein manifested. Haisch provides as proof of his views a combination of fine tuning and mystical experiences arguments.
Haisch wants to believe he is immortal...that's silly, we are mortals.
I was into that stuff deep, you can experience all kinds of things if you tune your mind to be open to them.....and you can be deceived easily by such experiences. Hinduism is a strong deception and this Haisch guy is buying into it. It's just a modern twist on Hinduism, trying to validated it by claiming it's scientific when it is nothing but subjective to beliefs and feelings.....subject to personal desires/lusts
I used to, but the more exoplanets they discover, the more unlikely it's beginning to look. The United Federation of Planets will be a very small club.
Because the planets they're discovering are nicknamed "planets from hell". None seem to be in the goldilocks zone. So that's why I say, it's beginning to look like ours is a very unique planet after all.
There may be life on other planets, but the more planets they discover, the more they find no life on other planets. To believe there is life on other planets, which their very well may be, is an irrational belief. There may be life on other planets but there is no valid reason to believe there actually is life on other planets.......and just because demons in ufo's said they came from another planet does not prove that they actually did come from another planet.
So you are saying that "demons" HAVE stepped off of UFO's and said they came from other planets??
I agree, "to BELIEVE there is life on other planets, is an irrational belief." To believe "there MAY be life on other planets" ... is NOT. To BELIEVE that they are "demons", without proof is also irrational. Therefor, to believe in some "god" without proof is ALSO irrational. I will say, we have found a lot more "possibilities" that we have been visited before by aliens, than we have that ANY of the "gods" existed, like Zeus, Neptune, Ra, Odin, Allah and the other hundreds of gods. We shouldn't believe in ANYTHING that doesn't have proof, but it's alright to think that "maybe"... let's look further ... let's not swallow a myth.
A lot of people do claim critters in UFO's told them they are from other planets. If the people who swear by such stories really did see critters and/or UFOs, those things are demonic in origin and they are deceptions.
It is completely irrational that living things came to be from non-living things. The only thing that rationally explains living things is that the Living God created living things. Pseudo-science starts by saying life must have happened only by chance, somehow living things appeared when before nothing lived.......that is not science, it's the logical fallacy of begging the question and by selling the swampland of evolution, a lot of people fool enough suckers so they can actually make a living from trying to prove the impossibility of life emerging from non-life.
What real science always has and always will observe is that living things come only from living things. The logical conclusion is that before there were living things, the Living God was there and He chose to give life to things. Of course sinners who love their sin do not want to believe that God rules over them...so He gives them limited time in which they may decided they need and want God's mercy, and if they insist they do not need or want God's mercy they end up in the fire of Hell where sin belongs. I think we all know where you fit in that scenario, you have declared it yourself many times, you want it your own way and God is letting you have it your own way and if you wake up in Hell it's your own choice and your own fault.
I didn't read your post throughout as I know is the same old broken record parrot nonsense which lame brains who think they are better and smarter and stronger than God spit out when they think they need to pacify themselves by saying since God does not seem to be punishing their sin now, they won't be punished in hell.
I did see a bunch of names of idolatrous 'gods', Ra, Thor, Zeus, Allah...whatever. Who cares of those things are real or not? The only One you want to be rid of is your Creator, the only One you want to be rid of is the Holy One who you have sinned against. Throwing out a long list of straw men which are not God and then arguing that they are not God is pretty stupid, isn't it. Yes, it's stupid.
Yes, all 7 are required other than movement. Movement is only required in non-plant lifeforms hence the nickname 'vegetable' for immobile human beings.
I don't "believe" there is life on other planets, until I see evidence of it. I don't BELIEVE in a god for the same reason. When I SEE evidence of either one, I WILL believe. My money is on the planets.
It is REALLY hard to believe that their are trillions of "lives" in a place called "heaven", and even more in a place called "hell". Maybe they are two different planets??? C'mon NASA! surely you can find overpopulated places like THOSE! ;-)
I agree. I didn't say it wasn't. I'm beginning to think you will object to, or "correct", anything ANYONE says just to be objectionable. WE have the right to think as we do, that doesn't make US always wrong. It seems like you must have been in a damaging relationship, told to keep your mouth shut, and now are taking advantage of speaking freely. WE are not always wrong OR incorrect, you are not always right or correct.
This is twice I've agreed with you on this page, other times I disagreed strongly but I didn't down vote you. You seem to take disagreement personally. I recommend you seek help. Just saying.
I believe in unintelligent extraterrestrial life, so like animals that happen to originate on other planets. I think that if you believe in God then you have to believe that he is powerful enough to put life on other planets since he created them and I don't know why he wouldn't. Also coming from the scientific and statical vantage points that have already been mentioned it's very likely that there are other planets capable of supporting life.
I think it's stupid to even think that there isn't. If God created billions upon billions of planets, why would he put life on only one? And if you don't believe in God(s) consider this. Through this endless universe that we live in (excluding the possibility of multiple universes) with many Earth like planets and planets with similar atmospheres, distance from the sun, etc are bound to exist so why couldn't there be life on other planets? I highly doubt that in this endless universe there isn't at least one planet pout there that has some kind of animal or plant life at the least
Yes, there is a big possibility that life may exist on exoplanets. Astronomers predict there could be about 100 billion exoplanets in the Milky Way that can support life, fifty sextillion(5*10^22) in the universe. This staggering number shows the ability of the universe to host life and helps in concluding that the chances of the existence of alien life is very very high.
This concludes that there is a big possibility that alien life may exist on other planets in the universe as well
